Shape of capsule: A circular cylinder with hemispheres mounted on both sides.

Radius of each hemisphere is equal to the radius of cylinder.

Let the length of the cylinder be h.

Surface area of capsule = Curved surface area of cylinder + Curved Surface area of two hemispheres

Surface area of capsule = 2 x pi x r x h + 2 x 2 x pi x r x r = 2 x pi x r x (h+2r)
